RL-Key+Ideas+&+Details

RL.4.1. Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. RL.4.2. Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text. RL.4.3. Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character’s thoughts, words, or actions). || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s) === 1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text. 2. Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas. 3. Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text. || 4.IN.1.2 Apply appropriate reading strategies to note characteristics of various genres. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍Revised Bloom's Level of thinking === Remember and Understand || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍Learning Target/Task Analysis === Fourth grade students should refer to the text when drawing conclusions as well as when answering directly stated questions. The central message or lesson is now referred to as theme (a unifying idea that is a recurrent element in literary or artistic work). Students are continuing to determine a theme and expanding this work to other genres. They are required to refer to the text to describe various story elements. Use questions and prompts such as: Can you tell me the reasons why the character said …in the story? Show me where you linked your thinking to the text. What are the most important events that happened in the story? How do you know? What is the theme of this text? Summarize the story from beginning to end in a few sentences. Can you tell me how the character is feeling is this part of the story? Explain why the character is feeling this way.
